Research and Markets Releases New $47.8B Forecast
According to a GlobeNewswire release distributed through Yahoo Finance on May 19, the global coffee beans market — valued at $29.7 billion in 2025 — is now projected to reach $47.8 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 7.0 percent. The figures come from the new “Coffee Beans — Global Strategic Business Report” added to Research and Markets’ offering. According to the report, coffee, brewed from the roasted beans of the Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (robusta) plants, remains a daily staple for more than two billion consumers worldwide, underpinning what the analysis describes as one of the most dynamic and culturally significant segments of the food and beverage industry.
Arabica Drives Premium Segment Growth While China Posts 11.3 Percent CAGR
According to the same Research and Markets analysis, the arabica coffee bean segment is forecast to reach $30.2 billion by 2032 at an 8.2 percent CAGR, outpacing the robusta segment’s 5.2 percent CAGR. The U.S. market was valued at $9.2 billion in 2025 and remains the single largest regional market. China is forecast to grow at an 11.3 percent CAGR to reach $12.0 billion by 2032, the fastest regional growth rate documented. The report cites e-commerce expansion and direct-to-consumer distribution as drivers of expanded access to niche and micro-lot specialty coffee offerings, a structural shift away from mass-market grocery as the dominant access point.
Pact Coffee Expands Waitrose Line in U.K. Specialty Push
According to Tea & Coffee Trade Journal on May 19, U.K.-based Pact Coffee has expanded its product line in Waitrose stores, extending the brand’s specialty grocery footprint. According to the report, the launch is also part of Pact Coffee’s ongoing work to address gender imbalance within the coffee industry — a sourcing and supply-chain commitment increasingly cited as a competitive differentiator in specialty coffee. The expansion adds to a wave of premium grocery placements documented across the May briefing cycle and confirms continued retailer appetite for differentiated specialty coffee beyond mainstream commodity blends.
Cold Brew and Ready-to-Drink Segments Continue Double-Digit Growth
According to a separate Mordor Intelligence report distributed earlier in May, the cold brew coffee market is forecast to climb from $3.79 billion in 2026 to $8.36 billion by 2031, growing at a 17.12 percent CAGR — the fastest growth rate of any major coffee subcategory tracked. According to the same report, the broader global coffee market is forecast to reach $238.99 billion by 2031. The data points to a category in which premiumization, single-origin sourcing, and functional add-ins (protein, adaptogens, plant ingredients) are now driving incremental margin even as commodity coffee prices remain volatile.

Analysts caution that the $47.8 billion forecast assumes continued recovery in green coffee supply and stabilization in commodity pricing, both of which remain exposed to climate-related yield volatility in the major arabica-producing regions of Brazil, Colombia, and Ethiopia.
